The mll on the LG was much, much lower than the audience's subjective reactions indicated (off-axis viewing, perhaps).

Interesting perspective. Well, I like to think the masters stay as objective as possible. But I can understand where LG and more recently, Toshiba have been 'also-rans' in the perception of many.
It would appear they ALL bring something positive to this technology, but some folks get more excited than others.

It certainly would not be the first time something looked better than the absolute numbers would have led some to believe it should.

We have some friends in the White Plains area, hope to wrap a vacation around next year's event. Maybe have a chance to meet PFC5 & others as well.
